Cannot access Messages on Main set. Feature 983 takes me to Pswd. Somehow it was changed it, and I am totally locked out! is there a way to over ride this and Reset the Admin Password? HELP! and Thank you!

Change the administrator password by pressing Feature 985 dial 9 even though it is not listed as an option. The display will show Pswd: dial 73738767793. The display will show Reset pswd? Press YES. Now you can log into the voice mail system administrator using Feature 983 and the password 1020000 if you have 3 digit extension numbers. Add or delete the 0 between the 1 & 2 depending if you have 2 digit or 4 digit extension numbers.

Feature 983 log in is 120000 (if 2 digit extension, 1020000 if 3 digit, 10020000 if 4 digit extensions)
Select Mbox, enter that locked extensions mail box number, You will see password RESET. Select RESET. Release out. This will reset that mail box password to 0000. Use feature 981 on that phone and enter the new default password of 0000. you will then be prompted to change the password.

Feature 985 will show you your mailbox extension

Hi.

The mail box locks up after a number of failed access attempt.

I quote a solution from this forum, I hope it works.

Feature 983 log in is 120000 (if 2 digit extension, 1020000 if 3 digit, 10020000 if 4 digit extensions)
Select Mbox, enter that locked extensions mail box number, You will see password RESET. Select RESET. Release out. This will reset that mail box password to 0000. Use feature 981 on that phone and enter the new default password of 0000. you will then be prompted to change the password.

Sounds like you have a BCM or BCM 50 system. Try feature 983 log: 738662 and pswd:266344

sounds like you might have a BCM 50 Try feature 983, id:738662, pswd:266344. Hopefully the password wasn't changed.
